In vivo exposure of rats to GSM-modulated microwaves: flow cytometry analysis of lymphocyte subpopulations and of mitogen stimulation.
Chagnaud JL, Veyret B · 1999
View Original AbstractThis study found no immune system changes in rats exposed to GSM radiation, but lacks key exposure details needed to assess real-world relevance.
Plain English Summary
French researchers exposed rats to GSM cell phone radiation and examined their immune system cells using advanced laboratory techniques. They found no changes in the rats' lymphocytes (white blood cells that fight infection) or in how well these cells responded to immune challenges. The study suggests that low-level pulsed microwaves from cell phones may not harm basic immune system function.
Study Details
The effects of GSM-modulated microwaves on lymphocyte sub-populations of Sprague-Dawley rats and their normal mitogenic responses were investigated using flow cytometry analysis and a colorimetric method.
No alterations were found in the surface phenotype of splenic lymphocytes or in their mitogenic acti...
